Filmed in Colour

This 1968 crime thriller, starring Steve McQueen, rapidly achieved legendary status. That's somewhat surprising, considering that the script and plot - a San Francisco cop, determined to find out who killed a witness in his care - are a little mundane.

But a combination of McQueen's deadpan and cool take on the character of maverick cop Frank Bullitt, a terrific support role from Robert Vaughn as a slimy politician, a storming, much-imitated car chase - bouncing over the San Francisco hills - and a superb score by Lalo Schifrin, rightly turned the film into a classic. While it may not be one of McQueen's better performances, it certainly helped to seal his position as a screen legend.
